Default 997 Turbo Pics

Hey guys. Check this out. It really looks like a Porsche. If the final product has this much traditional shape. I WILL have one.

Bye bye Z06 or build another garage? That will be a difficult one...

Those still look pretty disguised. I do expect this car to really look good though. I like the mirrors too. AND there are rumors of an actualy S model for the RWD variant. I think I see a 997 in my not far off future as well!

The bottom picture looks like the other spy photos I've seen of the new 997 Turbo. Check out the classic "whale tail" and the huge air intakes on the sides in front of the rear wheels!!!!! The new Turbo looks/reminds me of the 959. Wow.

I would love it if the new Turbo ended up looking like a modern version of the 959, or even identical to it.

air-cooledjbj,

I wouldn't expect to see those ducts on the side of the 997TT, they did the same thing for the 996TT prototypes IIRC. Which makes me wonder if thats just another photoshopped pic...

Well, if you combine all of the comments above, I still think it adds up on the positive side. It sure will be interesting.

A 997 C2S sure would be appealing too...
